Prices are not only steady but firm, the better
class OF shipping qualities ranging from 81 S71S
to 81 10 p ctl.
BAkLEY-The rains this week have caused
buyers to act with more hesitancy, and trading
has been light and slow in consequence Choice
feed is still held at SOC by some dealers though
II would be hard task to find a customer at
over ST1ac, and then it is doubtful If any large
amount would be taken. Lower grades sell in
proportion. The situation has undoubtedly been
softened by the wet weather, and no heavy bust
ness is anticipated until after the reports of
stocks on hand at the close of the year have
been gathered. Brewing is not in quick de-
mand, though there is some trade on both local
and shipping account. The old range of prices
is fairly well maintained, say 95c9S1 05 2 ctl for
